Josh Pollard, the nephew of former Jayhawk Scot Pollard, is set to walk on at Kansas this fall, Bill Self announced on Wednesday.

The younger Pollard, a 6-4 guard from Orem (Utah) High, will be a freshman this upcoming season, despite graduating from high school in 2012. He served on a two-year mission trip with the Church of the Latter Day Saints in Los Angeles before enrolling at Kansas this fall.

"Josh comes from the Pollard family we all know and love and is going to be a walk-on for us,” said Self in a release from the school.

“He was a good high school player and I told him he would definitely have the opportunity to work out with our team. We’re excited to have him. We really don’t (know) at what level he will be a contributor but he’ll have an opportunity like everyone else. I’m looking forward to seeing how he reacts to guys that have been involved with our program the last couple of years. I know he’s excited to be a part of it.”

He racked up 8.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game while at Orem, leading the team to the school's first 4A title during his senior season.
